A little about NAFED:

History

The National Association of Fire Equipment Distributors (NAFED) (New Jersey chapter NJAFED) was established in 1963 with the mission of continuously improving the economic environment, business performance, and technical competence in the fire protection industry.

Their founders had certain practical goals in mind. As they managed their businesses and looked for new ways to improve and grow, they noticed that some things were missing:

Where could they learn more about servicing new types of extinguishers?

How could individual companies provide input into the structuring of national codes and standards?

Where could they buy discounted recharge tags?

Who had the answers to technical questions?

Who could assist in training new employees?

Today, their association continues to operate with that guiding mission and the principal objective of gathering and disseminating information and ideas that will improve the world's fire protection and increase the fire protection industry's competence.
